THE YORUBAS of course. If the Stat u gave is correct and the Tinubu's stat that recorded Igbo to be 43% of the whole population, then Ndigbo shouldn't be ignored in Lagos politics.
Igbos are APOLITICAL unlike there neighbours, but the OBA utterance can make them lose that part of them and vote for PDP.
Am still positive APC will win.

BEfore you vote on saturday

Are sure this picture will stop JK from winning?

drtwist:
why keep mentioning a particular tribe?
The Igbo knws lagos belongs to yorubas and you should also knw lagos belongs to all Nigeria.

With your logic, Anambra, Kano and other states belong to all tribes as well. There are Yorubas and other tribes there contributing little or something to its IGR.

No man's land is different from contribution to the development of the state, Igbos are large in numbers in Kano as well so why is Kano no man's land? It seems you dont know how annoying that no mans land sound for those of us that are indigenes. In as much as there is state of Origin in our constitution, Lagos is Yorubaland.

Your mumu get wheelchair. Who be benin and if we were to check the roots of all this tribes in east, am sure most of them evloved from monkeys

Canme4u:


Even when you choose to say it upside down in order to serve your purpose you are still saying the same thing.

Benins are Yorubas and Yorubas are Benins.

What different does it make as to which comes first before which?

You Igbo clowns better stay put or you norish the consicuence

you are very naive. The bini are a distinct group. Dat yoruba originated from one of their own doesnt make them yoruba.

omoiseselagba:

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WE UNDERSTAND AS LAGOS AND LAGOS AS A STATE.LAGOS COMPRISE OF LAGOS ISLAND AND SMALL PART OF THE LAGOS MAINLAND SUCH AS IDO,EBUTTE METTA,SURULERE.LAGOS AS A STATE HAS THE IJEBUS FROM IKORODU,EPE,IBEJU,ETI OSA DOWN TO LEKKI AND UP TO THE BOUNDARY WITH THE MAIN IJEBU PEOPLE IN IJEBU ODE.BADAGRY TOO IS PART OF LAGOS AS A STATE.THE OWNERS OF LAGOS BEFORE STATE CREATION ARE THE AWORIS AND A POCKET OF EGUN PEOPLE FROM BADAGRY.THE OWNERS OF LAGOS AS A STATE ARE THE IJEBUS,EGUN AND AWORI.SO THERE FORE,LAGOS STATE IS 100% YORUBA(AWORI AND IJEBU) AND EGUN LAND.

if any of these places u mentioned were originally in d "Eko" settlement then it means d Bini were the original landlords. Only exception is if they were added to Eko to makeup Lagos state.

If the oil in Niger Delta belongs to Everyone then why should Lagos be for the Yoruba alone?

ElekeNtioba:


nice write-up bt here is the problem i have with your claims. You said "...Lagos was initially called 'Eko' which referred mainly to the island" and the "first set of people to settle in 'Eko' were the Aworis". Then you turned and said "...Island become a Benin war-camp called “EKO” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at that time." Pls clarify....who gave Lagos its first name

Here is a more plausible version supported by some historical accts; Lagos was initially called Eko. Eko was founded by Benin warriors as their war-camp. The Awori were the first yoruba to come...some say they were brought in as conquered slaves. The decline of the Benin Empire saw Eko made a colonial settlement by the Portuguese who gave it the name 'Lagos'. With the exit of the Portuguese, the yorubas mostly aworis who have grown in number and clout (as the influence of the Benin empire dimnished) took over...even assuming the titular head of the settlement....Oba of Lagos...a legacy of the Benin founders.

So its safe to say the Binis are the original landlords of Lagos. The yorubas only took over after being empowered by the portuguese.

It is Oba of Benin not Obi of Benin. Go figure!

i dont understand. I nver mentioned Obi in dat post.

100 like for you, the oil as they said is nigeria property located in the ND so lagos is Nigerians state located in the west. Lol

Who else ?


Lagos only began a part of nigeria in 1900 and oko or eko ( lagos island alone is eko) had been a trading spot where human and trade of goods where going on


Nigerias go they form lie thank God we are all not dumb

LAgos has always been rich because yoruba has been doing business with europeans. the same europeans went to se and ss and they ran away because the people there were not open and accomodating thus the europeans decided to live with the yorubas in lagos to abeokuta

the word eko is a benin word but they didnt own the land.trully they came but few of them settled in with the awori who already occupy the island and few settlement on the mainland lagos.after some time,the benin left and the remining fizzled out due to intermarriges with the awori yorubas.names like obanikoro,eletu odibo,bajulaiye are of benin origin.lagos before state creation is 100% yoruba land.lagos state is 100% yoruba and egun land.thats all.
